A great perfume is a keyhole into another realm; an invisible landscape that you can enter and explore any time. Each of our fumes is a rich narrative. Our scents are fragments of half-remembered myths and imaginary landscapes that invite exploration. Liner notes, playlists, images, graphics, and films expand upon the world inside the glass.

One last step opening the summit of the path. Frassaï dwells there. When the air shifts and you are seconds away from knowing why. When the instant touches you with the whisper of a wing.

Even today, stories such as Histoire d’O and the diaries of Anaïs Nin still manage to discompose and arouse readers thanks to their radical complexity. ‘Jouissance’ is a complex concept meaning to transgress the limits imposed on pleasure, and linked to femininity because of women’s capacity for experiencing surplus enjoyment.
